Camp Rock (DVD)

Right so here we have another Disney Original Movie. Obviously Disney wanted Camp Rock to be as big as High School Musical shown by the amount of merchandise you can get for this film. I have to admit, I am one of the people who love High School Musical but I didn't have that high hopes for Camp Rock. The plot:- Mitchie, played by Demi Lovato loves to sing and can sing pretty good. She gets the chance to go to Camp Rock where all other little teenagers with money and musical talent go. To pay for her to go to this amazing camp her mum gets a job in the kitchen there. This is where some of the problems start. In an effort to try and fit in, she ...  Read the complete review

For those that loved High School Musical, Camp Rock is cast from the same mould. Aspiring musician Mitchie is desparate to go to the summer camp - Camp Rock - but here parents say they just can't afford it, then at the last minute her Mums catering firm secure the contract to provide the catering for the camp and Mitchie gets to go. For about a day she shares a room with her Mum and then makes friends with Tess Tyler, Peggy and Co. and she is recruited into their room, very much trophy friends who hang off what you buy and where you go, Mitchie starts to lie to them to keep in. In the mean time the Camp Directors nephew has been posted to ...  Read the complete review

Being the Easter Holidays, there is nothing I love better to do than to enjoy my time off work, lazing about and just generally relaxing. While in America, I had come across a band called the Jonas Brothers, which everyone was going on about but then I had heard that they had appeared in a film and I had to see it. Being by Disney I had hoped it wouldn't be a High School Musical type rip off but it came onto the TV so I decided to watch it. It was also on over the Easter weekend on the BBC, which I am sure many of you managed to catch it on. The film introduces us to Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), she is a young girl who has a great singing voice but sadly ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so here I was thinking I had a few months reprieve before the mania descends that is known simply to use parents of young girls as "the third one". For anyone who has no idea of what I speak, I am of course referring to the third instalment of "High school musical 3", but no... the people at Disney have of course had other ideas. Not only do I now have to get into a fist fight with some woman in Woolworths on Christmas eve to procure the latest "must have" HSM product, I know have the film I will now reviews merchandise to locate, take out a loan to afford and finally fight for, all in the name of love! The film I will ...  Read the complete review

When the Disney Channel aired its own movie in High School Musical, it quickly followed with two sequels, and the chances are that if you're a kid and you liked those films, they you may like this film, Camp Rock. Built in a similar mould, it aims to do for summer camp what High School Musical did for school: make it cool! What we have here is a good idea, with good songs and singing, and a solid plot to go along with. What we don't have is anyone with a clue on how to execute all of these things to produce a fun and enjoyable film. Unfortunately, when my wife and I watched it, we spent more time taling about the size of Joe Jonas' eyebrows than anything else! ...  Read the complete review
